The aim of this paper is to encourage a debate about the effective adoption of a sustainability approach by companies boards, being a substantial factor of convergence between insider and outsider corporate governance systems. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability are based on good corporate governance, grounded on stakeholder engagement, fairness, transparency and accountability. All these principles are related to sustainable boards and determine a governance approach directed to the growth of corporate value in the long-term. Leadership aiming at sustainability requires CSR to be transferred from top management to the entire organisation, spreading a real culture of sustainability into organization. In this sense, the CSR, if properly realized, can be considered as a factor of substantial convergence between the different systems of corporate governance existing worldwide.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to encourage a debate about the effective adoption of a sustainability approach by companies boards, being a substantial factor of convergence between insider and outsider corporate governance systems. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability are based on good corporate governance, grounded on stakeholder engagement, fairness, transparency and accountability. All these principles are related to sustainable boards and determine a governance approach directed to the growth of corporate value in the long-term. Leadership aiming at sustainability requires CSR to be transferred from top management to the entire organisation, spreading a real culture of sustainability into organization. In this sense, the CSR, if properly realized, can be considered as a factor of substantial convergence between the different systems of corporate governance existing worldwide.
